J'ai pr茅par茅 ce livre comme un essai. 脌 part la vie priv茅e du personnage principal, tous les faits sont r茅els, j'ai rencontr茅 茅norm茅ment de gens, j'ai beaucoup voyag茅 en Russie. C'est une reconstitution tr猫s fid猫le de ce qu'a 茅t茅 ce pays ces vingt derni猫res ann茅es. Mais au c艙ur du pouvoir, et du pouvoir russe en particulier, il y a des 茅l茅ments de paradoxe, une contradiction permanente, une irrationalit茅 que seule la litt茅rature pouvait transcrire
I prepared this book like an essay. Except for the private life of the main character, all the facts are real. I have met a lot of people, traveled extensively in Russia. It is a very faithful reconstruction of what this country has been like in the last twenty years. But at the heart of power, and Russian power in particular, there are elements of paradox, a permanent contradiction, an irrationality that only literature could convey.

芦Ma raccontano tutti la stessa cosa, Vadja, come ai tempi di Breznev.禄
芦Qui il nostro vero obiettivo non 猫 la conquista, 猫 il caos.禄
